The General Service Order is a form layed out to
aid the technician in his daily work. A descrip-

is completed and the same applies to the
"BILLED" box. These are placed at the top for
thumb through ease.
The DATE SERVICE ORDER MADE and DATE
ORDER COMPLETED are to show the respective
dates and the length between.
SERVICE ORDER 3 can be any number which
you would like to assign. For example, a nine
digit number can be used which is unique in the
following manner:

As a.field technician in the state of Western Australia. I havefowid your Journals to be a great help
in the servicing of the machines in my charge. The articles on.field tips and mods have helped me
out of some.frustrating situations that I feel obligated to contribute to this service myself.
SUBJECT
PROBLEM
The following is a modification to Sega Hang On
and Super Hang On that I have found to be
extremely reliable.
Brake cables constantly breaking and wearing
out. I have noticed that some operators simply
remove the brake handle assembly completely. I
have found that this deteriorates the control of
the game and the ability of the player to register
their name or select the options of play.
